How to take care Flowerhorn aka luohan?

To start this hobby to keep flowerhorn you will need an aquarium.

I suggest the biggest aquarium you can buy....The smallest aquarium size to keep flowerhorn till it able to show you it full potential is 3'x2'x1.5'(90 cm(L)x60 cm(H)x 45cm(W)). Then you need filter....Flowerhorn is hardy fish and need simple water care. However, i suggest you to invest in complete filter involving mechanical and biological filters in one compartment. This will pay you later when easy and less time consuming to maintain the water and filters. I'm using biohome and coral for filter media to culture good bacteria and Japanese mat and sponge as my mechanical filter.

Then i also using small volcano rock for decoration and it's also act as a toy for my flowerhorn to play with.
Before you introduce the fish into your aquarium, i suggest you run your aquarium filter system for about 1-2 weeks. I usually use  tap water which de-chlorinated with anti chlorine then let the aquarium system run for 1 week to make sure the filter have enough time to culture the good bacteria. Some people using bacteria starter to fasten the process. After that you can released the fish....that it easy right....now you can enjoy your fish.....after that food to fed your fish.......
